I have a simple app. Just need to copy a 50MB folder to the root of C:\ on the workstation and then throw a shortcut on the all users start menu pointing to an .exe in the folder. Nothing to “install”. I know I can do it all with a GPO but would like an all-in-one ImmyBot app to deploy. Thank you for any pointers.
I’m very new to immybot here but I’m thinking you should be able to do something like this:
- On your own computer, have the folder on your c:\ drive with the files, and make a shortcut to the exe within this folder, then zip it up
- Create a new software in immybot, it looks like they let you upload a .zip file
- You’ll need to create a new Install powershell script in immybot to do the “install”, so in that script you should be able to reference the zip file from your upload with the $InstallerFile variable, then you would write some powershell code to do things, like:
a. make your directory, like: New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path C:\MyFolder -Force
b. extract the zip file, like: Expand-Archive -Path $InstallerFile -DestinationPath C:\MyFolder -Force -ErrorAction Stop
c. Move or Copy the shortcut file to the public desktop, like: Copy-Item -Path “C:\MyFolder\theshortcut.lnk” -Destination “C:\Users\Public\Desktop”. Or to start menu something like: Copy-Item -Path “C:\MyFolder\theshortcut.lnk” -Destination “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs” or some such.
This is untested of course, I just copied a couple things I have in a different script I am working on, but something like this should work. ?
I’m not sure though how Immybot will see it as “installed” yet, so what will happen to the task after it runs.
